Shelley was introduced to Keats in Hampstead towards the end of 1816 by their mutual friend, Leigh Hunt, who was to transfer his enthusiasm from Keats to Shelley.Shelley's initial admiration of Keats was ambiguous: his reception to Keats' Endymion was largely unfavourable, while he found his later work, Hyperion, to be the highest example of contemporary poetry.
Shelley is perhaps best known for poems such as Ozymandias, Ode to the West Wind, To a Skylark, Music, When Soft Voices Die, The Cloud, The Masque of Anarchy and Adonais, an elegy written on the death of Keats.
